Holiday rentals with lake access in Mount Desert Island

Great stay for our family of 5 adults and 3 toddlers! Lots to do and great proximity to Acadia/Bar Harbor. House was well supplied with clear instructions. Brady also connected with us before the stay and kept in touch for anything that came up as a concern. Thank you!

We were traveling up the east coast for 8 days with many stops along the way. This stay was by far the most like “home.” We were able to fully relax and enjoy the scenery! Beautiful home and very clean.

Logan’s home was just as described but better. It felt homey, comfortable sofa, large dining table, well stocked kitchen and the most comfy beds along with plush towels and great sheets. All you need is your belongings. Park your car and walk to everything. The home is on a quiet street but Great restaurants are just a short stroll away along Main Street and let’s not forget there’s Acadia National Park just around the corner. Great visit and will definitely return. Logan made our visit comfortable along with recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Thank you Logan!!

We had a wonderful weekend with friends for my husband's 40th birthday. Friday afternoon was beautiful for grilling and then a fire by the lake at night. Saturday was chilly and rainy which made for a great opportunity to take full advantage of the garage with multiple rounds of poker, some ping pong, pool, and darts. We had some sun again on Sunday for some relaxing on the dock and down time enjoying the beautiful view before heading home. Everyone agreed that they'd love to return.

Staying at Ty's place was lovely! Beautiful kitchen, plenty of space, easy to work the appliances and the TV. Really loved that shower, beautiful pressure, and location was glorious, very close to the famous Andre the seal, whose story is really worth a watch on youtube. Ty was communicative with loads of recs, and even lent us a kayak to go out on the nearby Lily pond, very characteristically full of lilies. Would absolutely stay again!

Michael was a great host! Awesome cabin, very clean and with amazing views. We were able to check in and check out with zero issues. The kayaks were a really great touch! The lake is beautiful and backyard is spacious. We used the grill one night and had a fire in the fire pit another. This was a really great week and we appreciate Michael for all his help and accommodations!

Helen’s home in Bar Harbor is an incredible value on AirBnB. We loved being able to bring our 5 month old daughter and our dog to join us on our first family vacation together. Our favorite aspect was being so close to shops and restaurants but still feeling like we had peace and quiet when we needed it. We would absolutely book again with Helen.

We loved Acadia Nest. We were a small group of three, but wanted separate rooms, the house could easily, comfortablely handle more. The porch was spectacular and large and given great weather would be such a bonus. The best part was the location. Close to the park and all surroundings, easy access to both the trails and the fabulous restaurants in Bar Harbor but able to conclude day and begin day peacefully. 2nd best was the plentiful suggestions and recommendations on trails and food. Between Mike's recommendations and summaries and a wonderful book provide at house, we filled 3 days with perfect hikes. House is older, with history, beautiful.

Had a great weekend staying at Naomi’s Airbnb while visiting Acadia! The apartment has a very modern finish to it and has all the amenities you might need while spending a cozy weekend in nature. The drive to Acadia is close to an hour but the location of the property is quite peaceful and right next to a lake.

The place was very beautiful. Its a perfect location for stay if you are planning to visit Acadia National Park. The place itself was very clean and well maintained. Kathleen was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. They also have access to the shore at a 2 min walk which is a good spot to hangout during sunrise and sunset.

Her place was brand new. Very tastefully decorated and furnished. Great water pressure. Perfect location. We really appreciated that they are dog friendly and enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

We had a peaceful stay and would like to come back one day. - Everything exactly as shown in the pics - Superbly clean - THE BEST hosts We are very grateful!

We loved our week long stay! The cabin is awesome and location is perfect. We spent time at Bar Harbor and Acadia. The lake is beautiful and so peaceful. John and Maria were great.

Alan is very welcoming and helpful. The lights and electronics are all very efficient and eco-friendly. And what an amazing bonus, to have top-class music fifty steps from our door! Gorgeous views of Cadillac Mountain, all lovely. Acadia is an hour away, Blue Hill Peninsula has lots going on, and Bucksport and Deer Isle are a short drive away. We will visit again. Thank you, Alan!

Had a great time. The house was clean and orderly. We had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, they were only 30-40 minutes away. We also enjoyed the very short walk to the water front to enjoy the views and the cool breeze off the water we even saw a lobster boat one evening! Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

The stay was great! Drove up from Ohio and after a very long day of driving, the place was relaxing and ready. The amenities were accurately described in the listing and reflected within. We enjoyed the unique aspects such as the frog decor and Orland decorations. Being in mid October, the heat inside was plenty to keep us warm. We had no issues whatsoever but it appeared that Vacasa was very responsive if any did arise. The highlight had to be the dock access to Heart Pond in the backyard. Caught many sunsets and sunrises there and it was beautiful. Great for stargazing too! Ellsworth is only a short drive for food/supplies. This was a great jumping off point to explore Acadia National Park!

The place was better than described .. I was very worried after I booked I noticed that pets were allowed and I was mortified .. I don’t stay anywhere pets are allowed I couldn’t believe when I arrived how clean and tidy it was .. she had coffee pods wood for fire paper products location was perfect view was magnificent it was a perfect place.

My mother and I loved our stay at Tugwassa. When we weren’t exploring the nearby area, we spent our time looking out at the pond, enjoying the fire, and reading Mrs. Osborne’s poems! The cottage is beautifully decorated with a well-equipped kitchen. I loved taking the time to appreciate all the artwork and ornaments. Anne is very welcoming and hospitable - she has many great local recommendations and is nearby if you need any help. I’m looking forward to coming back again!

My family loved this house. The setting was beautiful, and it had tons to keep my kids entertained (kayaks, fishing poles, indoor and outdoor games). There was also ample coffee (always a plus!) and staples for cooking. We spent a lot of time at Acadia, but rearranged some afternoons to spend more time at the house because my kids enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend!

Stayed at the twisted calico cottage for two nights, the property it’s on is beautiful!! It’s clear that Anna worked really hard on making the cottage adorable and accommodating! Wonderful host, beautiful view. I was very nervous bringing my elderly dog to travel for the first time since a major surgery, but Anna was kind and everything went well. I would recommend this to any couples who love quiet peaceful chill vacations, and older dogs that need minimal distractions from other dogs or people. Also was clean and stocked with basic necessities!

The cabin was breathtaking, with a history painted and photographed among her walls. Perfect amount of space to accommodate a family should you have one. The morning sunrise was spiritual, and humbling. Host was incredibly friendly and accommodating for our dog. Arjuna. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you for an amazing and beautiful experience.

We enjoyed our stay, it was a wonderful place and have all amenities. The surrounding area is beautiful and so many things to do in the area.

I had a wonderful stay here! The inside is clean and cozy! Plus we enjoyed being able to cook over the fire and hang out by the lake. The location is private and peaceful. 35 minutes to the entrance of Acadia but depending on what part of the park you are headed to it can be up to an hour drive. I would stay again!

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!
